NEIsd hosts first Wellness in NEISD Leadership Institute

DATE: sept 20-21
TIME: 8:15 am
LOCATION: Piper Bass Student Center at BAC, 12002 Jones Maltsberger

North East ISD's PE/Health/Athletics will host its first Wellnes in NEISD Leadership Institute (WINLI) on September 20- 21, 2011 at Piper Bass Student Center at Blossom Athletic Center. Four to five members from each of our 64 campuses' wellness teams will be present along with NEISD Executive Staff, Board of Trustees and special guests.

In September 2010, NEISD received word that it would be awarded a Carol M. White Physical Education Program grant. Over the past year, various aspects of the grant have been implemented to include fitness centers at each high school. One goal of the grant is to provide staff development to all of our campuses on how to create sustainable, coordinated school health programs.

There will be four WINLI Institutes over the next two years - one in the fall and one in the spring of each school year. The focus for this institute is to celebrate our accomplishments and to learn from our partners - H-E-B, San Antonio Sports, Metro Health, Mayor's Fitness Council, and our Nutrition Services Department - the resources that are readily available to us.
